What the Sixers are doing to these bad teams is more to do with leadership habits the best players are practicing than coaching, imo.
For example, beating the piss out of CHA and Embiid makes the effort to get back in transition for a block. That sends a message down the line. – 8:09 PM

Embiid exits with the Sixers up 92-59 with minute left in the third, 35-13-2 for the big man. Should be it.

Respect to Joe Harris. Joel Embiid is pushing the break, the Pistons have lost 21 straight games, down 30, he barely plays and he stared down the middle of the barrel and took a charge. – 8:52 PM

Detroit’s best chance in this game is hoping Embiid takes Stewart’s bait and gets thrown out of the game somehow, but Stewart has to actually stay on the floor for that to happen – 8:30 PM

been sitting here most of the half thinking “meh, Sixers haven’t been that good” and they’re now up 22 lol.
Also, double techs on Embiid and Stewart. They’ve been jawing for a few plays in a row. – 8:10 PM

I’m not sure if anyone has written about this, if so, I’d love to read it, but Embiid has an obsession with fixing the net.
Seeing him two games in a row, he fixes/plays with the bottom of the nets quite often. – 7:58 PM

Pistons really need to win these non-Embiid minutes here to start the 2Q.
Not by like four or five. They need to win it by double digits to have a chance.
Ivey and Bogey on the floor to start. – 7:41 PM

Two early Embiid turnovers and a foul. Detroit doing a solid job on him so far.
Now if they could just hit a 3. – 7:16 PM

They called a double-dribble on Embiid. Right call, but I could probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually seen it called – 7:14 PM

More on this storyline
Dan Roche: To this point, Joel Embiid has more points (742) than minutes played (736) this season. The only player in NBA history to have more points than minutes played in a season (>1,000 pts) is Wilt Chamberlain’s 1961-62 season. -via Twitter / December 17, 2023
Keith Pompey: Asked to put Joel Embiid’s breaking Wilt Chamberlain’s record in perspective, Tyrese Maxey responded with a question of his own: “Can anybody guess what I’m about to say?” The assembled media said, “Joel Embiid is good at basketball.” “Yep, very good at basketball,” Maxey said. “You know what, I’ll even elaborate more. … He did a layup today, like a layup I normally do – a Eurostep high glass like touch layup.” At that moment, Maxey looked over at Patrick Beverley and uttered, ‘He’s 7-foot-2 and did the same layup that I just did. That’s scary.” -via Twitter @PompeyOnSixers / December 16, 2023
Austin Krell: Daryl Morey says conversations about his extension took off in recent weeks. Ownership has told him they want to keep the group of him, Elton Brand, Nick Nurse, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey together. Says Joel Embiid has maintained his commitment to the franchise and city. -via Twitter @NBAKrell / December 15, 2023
